Matt Shanks was the perfect choice as an internationally renowned illustrator whose characters you just want to pick up and cuddle.

Good Reads Reviewer
I have lived and worked my whole life in Gadigal and Boon Wurrung Country in what we now call Australia. I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which I do my work and I pay my respects to elders past and present. I acknowledge the sorrow of the stolen generations and the impacts of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I also recognise the resilience, strength and pride of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and through my work, aim to help as much as I can to empower and help them thrive.
The land we call Australia always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
